Will Going Green Make You a Hippie?
Just Smarter and a Bit More Hip!


A revolution is going on. In technology, communication and life science. By going green, you will use the best in green technology. Be on the cutting edge of smart. Decide for yourself to make some positive changes—for you, for your family, for your community. In that way, you will surely share something with the hippies and other innovators: a determination to be who you want to be.

Going green at home will save you money. Not always in the very short term, as many disposable products are seductively cheap. But when you compare the cost in money, time, maintenance and the impact on our health, green comes out on top every time.



For ease of navigation, the topics are organized here under the general headings "Actions & Ideas" and "Products." Peruse each, as there are product ideas and links in some of the Actions areas (where to buy refurbished inkjet cartridges or recycle bins, for example) as well as ideas and tips in the Products category.

You can also help our world and your health by eating green. Factory farming is one of the major global warming causes. Avoiding meat just one day a week will reduce greenhouse gases, water, grains, fossil fuels, pollution, and land degradation.

If you have a baby, you want to do your best to protect it and the earth it will inherit. Consider using eco-friendly products like green diapers to reduce your child's exposure to toxic chemicals.


The Hippies

What does this have to do with hippies? First, it helps to know that what you know to be a good idea also has a long and honorable tradition.

Second, if your friends tease you about "going hippie" for catching the green wave, well, it helps to have some convincing comebacks.

Follow here to find out why being green is hip but not trendy.
